O Allah, do not make me forget Your Gnosis (Ma'rifa), and keep me firm in Your obedience and the obedience of Your Messenger Muhammad, and Your Guardian Salsal, and Your names—the Imams—by which You named Yourself. For You, O Prince of the Bees, are distinct from them while they are not devoid of You, O Ali, O Great One.

Knowledge is the light of the believers, so do not breach it. Firmness in the Gnosis of the Farthest Mosque (al-Masjid al-Aqsa) and awaiting the prayer with certainty is the revolution of the Light of Luminosity (Nur al-Nuraniyya) over the attributes.

If there comes to you a seeker who mentions his Lord by night, do not turn him away; for perhaps he is among the sinful angels whom Allah brought down to the earth due to their sins to complete their punishments, then they shall be purified and ascend to their places. And perhaps they were brought down to the earth as a trial and a test, so that the Lord may know whether they obey or disobey—though He, Mighty and Majestic is He, knows them best. And perhaps He tests His servants through them, so He rewards them according to the measure of their kindness toward them, and punishes them according to the measure of their illtreatment of them. The believers are the victors.

Seek knowledge from the scholars; the scholar is like the udder of a sheep from which milk is drawn, and milk is the source of all good things.
